Dr. Foster's Cholesterol-Busters Cleanse In 7 Easy Steps

Skip To the Program
Learn How and Why it Works

Whether it's high cholesterol caused by stress, bad genetics, a high cholesterol diet, diabetes, obesity or any other cause, cholesterol can be lowered back into healthy range. Many people insist to me that they have genetic high cholesterol or genetic high triglycerides. They think I'm going to believe them because I was trained as a conventional medical doctor.

I tell them I know everything their doctor knows about cholesterol (obviously, since we have the same medical training) but more. Cholesterol is made and processed in the liver. The way I was trained to handle high cholesterol was to prescribe statins to lower the number. This drug interrupts the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, but also, unfortunately, can cause liver damage.

When I first left conventional medicine over twenty years ago to practice natural healing, I learned that herbs help heal the liver and that prescription medications often hurt the liver. So, when someone has a liver problem (such as a high cholesterol problem), it's important to heal the liver naturally and not simply artificially push down a blood cholesterol number. If people don't heal their liver naturally when they have high cholesterol, they will continue to have other health problems such as lower sex drive, lower energy levels, chronic fatigue, blood sugar problems, blood clotting problems or even cancer.

That is when I learned that it is not a good idea to give people a false sense of security by lowering their cholesterol "number" while their liver is hurting and will hurt even more as a side effect of that medication. The research shows that people can still have heart attacks and strokes, even though their cholesterol level is normal. So, what's the most important thing to do in this case? The most important thing is to heal the body, not simply push around blood chemistry numbers in our heads, making our patients feel better, when they are still at risk of serious disease.

Over the past 20 plus years I have been seeing patients holistically, I've never known anyone who didn't respond to my cholesterol-busting program. I've used this program to lower cholesterol readings in meat-eaters, vegetarians, vegans and even those with so-called genetic causes for their high lipid levels.

The traditional natural therapy for high cholesterol is a vegan diet. However, there are some vegans who suffer from high cholesterol. They are not eating any cholesterol, so why is the level high?

During my research, I was shocked to find out that problems
with high cholesterol are actually liver problems

Many people make the shift to a vegetarian diet in order to help their cholesterol problem, but when it doesn't work, they go back to their old diet with a cholesterol just as high as ever. What they never thought of was cleansing the liver. Because they cannot manage their cholesterol with diet, they are forced to take prescription cholesterol-lowering medications.

These medications can cause liver damage, so they can actually worsen the liver toxicity that caused the high cholesterol.

Worse yet, there are thousands of people all over the country complaining of yet a new adverse effect of cholesterol-lowering medications: muscle weakness and muscle damage - so severe it causes permanent disability. (WARNING: Dangerous cholesterol-lowering treatments) This is why no one ever gets off of these medications. No one ever claimed these medications were a cure. After all, a healthy cholesterol level is all about what's in the liver. Fortunately, it IS possible to heal high cholesterol even if prescription cholesterol-lowering medications are being used.

I was amazed when I started using natural liver healing programs over twenty years ago that an unexpected "side effect" of the cleanse was a lowered cholesterol. The difference was that, instead of hurting the liver with cholesterol-lowering medications, we were healing their liver as well as other organs in their body such as their colon and their blood. Their health was improving and the cholesterol number wasn't simply being forced down unnaturally with a synthetic medication. The number was coming down because their body was functioning better. To heal cholesterol problems, it's mainly a matter of healing the liver. Results can happen in as little as a few weeks. I've even had people who couldn't follow the full program who still experienced fantastic results. For maximum effects, this program can be continued for up to 6 months with an easy maintenance program afterwards.

Now, there is another type of person whose liver function is sluggish because of low thyroid function (That butterfly-shaped gland located near the throat that controls metabolism). Among other things, the thyroid gland controls how fast the liver can clear out cholesterol, and this is key for keeping cholesterol at healthy levels. So, even though you may get the liver clean, unless you get the thyroid function optimized, the cholesterol deposits are going to again accumulate in the liver. These people may need additional herbs outside of the Cholesterol Busters Program to support their thyroid/hormonal function (Such as Female Harmony, Sweet Essence, or Adrenal Support)and/or more seaweed in the diet. See the Ailment Reference Guide for more information about healing low thyroid.

Cholesterol Buster's Program

How to Begin:

The Vibrant Colon Formula should be taken at gradually increasing doses until there are 2 to 3 bowel movements per day. Healthy bowels should always move this often. If not, many diseases can occur. The liver recycles cholesterol from the intestines. If there is constipation, the liver will absorb more cholesterol from the intestines, leading to higher cholesterol readings.

During this time, Essential Nutrients should be taken. This formula is continued for at least 6 months. It is a terrific formula that not only stimulates excess fats and cholesterol to be removed from the circulation, but also builds healthy blood cells and keeps the immune system strong. It is safe enough to take every day, will not interact with any medications, and easily replaces synthetic harmful vitamins and minerals. I can always tell by my clients' rosy complexions, who is taking this formula and who is not.

Next, the One-Week Liver Regeneration Program is begun, continuing with the Vibrant Colon Formula and adding on the L/GB Formula, the Colon Detox Caps, the Blood Detox Formula and the Detox Herbal Tea. After completing this routine, many people tell me that they have more energy and that they sleep better. Also, mild skin problems begin to clear up at this time. Repeat the one-week Liver Regeneration Program for one more week and then once every 3 months. For more information about the One-Week Liver Regeneration Program

During The Three Month's Time Between Cleanses:

The The Healthy Cholesterol Formula should be taken. A good dose is one to two droppers full three times daily. The garlic in this formula has been proven in hundreds of research studies to directly lower cholesterol. The milk thistle keeps the liver protected and functioning well. These are particularly useful in modern times since there are hundreds of thousands of synthetic chemicals that people are exposed to on a daily basis. It also protects the liver from liver-damaging medications (including prescription cholesterol-lowering medications). Other liver-damaging medications include birth control pills, tricyclic antidepressants, antiseizure medications, cancer chemotherapy, and diabetes medications. Using these medications without taking milk thistle tincture can make cholesterol problems worse. Research shows that milk thistle can protect the liver from damage caused by taking these medications. Unlike synthetic prescription cholesterol - lowering medications, this formula will not damage the liver or cause gallstones. In fact, if there are gallstones in the gallbladder, they are likely to be naturally dissolved during this program. And in cases of hepatitis, I have noticed a healthy decrease in liver enzymes -- frequently down into the normal range - even without interferon therapy! An added bonus is that skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne tend to clear up while taking this formula. In fact, this formula can be continued for as long as needed with no long term side effects except for more healing! Over time, as the liver is gradually healing, lower and lower doses will be needed.

The Vibrant Colon Formula should be continued at whatever dose is needed in order to maintain healthy bowel function. There are additional cleansing herbs in here to help the liver and naturally change the bile that is secreted by the liver to a healthy thin fluid. This helps normalize liver function. However, if not needed, it can be discontinued.

Essential Nutrients should be continued. This will also help naturally increase energy, stamina and endurance. I've known this formula to revive elderly people who were so weak they were lying in bed waiting to die, having given up on life. They couldn't get around except with a wheelchair. With this formula, they got out of bed and started functioning again.

More fiber in the diet helps the elimination of excess triglycerides and cholesterol. One way to do this is to include ground flax seed in the diet. Ground flax seed can be sprinkled on morning cereal or mixed in with fruit or vegetable juice. Anywhere from one to three tablespoons per day should be adequate. A great side effect of using flax is shinier hair and healthier skin. How can you argue with that? It is also gentle enough and safe to use every day. An additional way to increase fiber consumption is by reducing meat consumption.

Optional: whenever you think about it, place 1 or 2 drops of the essential oil of lemon in a glass of water, drink down and enjoy! Not only is it delicious, but it also keeps the liver healthy and the rest of you, too.

�� WARNING ��

Treatments such as high doses of niacin are known to damage the liver. Formulations from outside the country may be contaminated with heavy metals, mold, pesticides that have been banned in the U.S., and even traces of pharmaceutical medications. Pharmaceutical medications commonly damage the liver. This is why medical doctors insist on getting blood tests every 6 months or so in those who they have prescribed cholesterol-lowering medications. They are checking liver enzyme levels (SGPT, SGOT, and GGT.) This is especially the cases with the "Statin" class of medications. Some triglyceride-lowering medications are associated with gallstones because the drugs reroute too much cholesterol and fat through the liver when the liver is not prepared to handle the extra load. With some of the newer cholesterol-lowering prescription medications, we are also seeing muscle damage, sometimes permanent, with extreme muscle weakness that persists even after stopping the drug.

My herbal formulations are safe, nontoxic and EXTRA STRENGTH herbal formulas. The same results that my clients achieved cannot be obtained with store-bought formulas. One would have to double, triple or quadruple the doses of store-bought formulas in order to get an effect. By this time, one is usually drunk from all of the alcohol-based formulas. This much alcohol is also an irritation on an already inflamed liver. These formulas, in stores, are mostly alcohol with only a bit of herbs. My formulas are mostly herbs with only a tiny bit of alcohol.

More Information About Cholesterol

The average cholesterol reading in America is 200. Yet a cholesterol level of 200 indicates increased risk for the deadly killers heart attack and stroke. One out of 2 Americans will have a heart attack at least once. "Average" in this case, is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. For one third of all people who suffer from heart attacks, they will die after the first heart attack and CPR cannot revive them. High cholesterol causes excess cholesterol to be deposited in the main blood supply to the brain - the carotid arteries. After years of high cholesterol, many people begin to suffer from TIA's (transient ischemic attacks), which are commonly known as mini-strokes. The only treatment option at this point is surgery. This surgery, carotid endarterectomy, carries many risks including severe bleeding, and also stroke.

Cholesterol also builds up inside the coronary arteries, causing angina pains for many people. Treatment options are dismal and include coronary bypass surgery and angioplasty. Although many people believe than angioplasty is a safer alternative, most medical doctors are aware that this surgery frequently causes scar tissue to be formed inside the coronary arteries. This scar tissue causes more narrowing of the coronary arteries, which leads to progressively worse angina and higher risk of heart attack. Even drastic dietary changes are usually not enough to compensate for the scar tissue which has closed off the blood supply to the heart. Most medical doctors plan to do bypass surgery within 5 years of doing an angioplasty for this very reason. It is not a permanent solution. After having one angioplasty, one will inevitably require either another angioplasty or coronary bypass surgery around five years down the road.

What one does to avoid these catastrophes before they occur can make the difference between life and death. The best way to heal the body is by supporting it with nutrients and herbs. The best chance of recovery lies in handling this problem naturally before it gets worse and causes serious problems. Herbs easily fulfill this role. Diet changes are always helpful, but they are much more effective when combined with the power of herbal therapy.
